Goals alone do not impress Guardiola- Lewa.

Lewandowski: Goals alone do not impress Guardiola
The Bavarian star discussed his relationship with the Catalan coach, who still constantly demands improvements from him
Robert Lewandowski insists his remarkable scoring feats for Bayern Munich have not seen him earn preferential treatment from coach Pep Guardiola, who the striker says expects more than just goals.
The prolific Poland international has netted an impressive 12 strikes in eight Bundesliga appearances so far this campaign, while his record for club and country combined in all competitions this season - 22 goals in only 16 games - makes for even better reading.
But Lewandowski is adamant Guardiola does not rate him based on his marksmanship alone, and states the Catalan constantly urges him to be more than just a goalscorer.
"I don't think the coach approaches me differently when I score more goals. It's the same. I'm sure he is happy with my goals, but he also wants me to play good football and help my team-mates," the 27-year-old told Uefa's official website.
"I know that I don't have to score in every single game for the coach to be happy with my performance. Sometimes my movements on the pitch are more important for him, like how I exploit the space and how I perform overall. 
"Goals not only help me, but the whole team. They're something the coach doesn't just expect from me. I am not a striker who is only waiting in the penalty box to score a goal. I move, make passes and look for opportunities for others."
Lewandowski will be looking to return to scoring form when Bayern visit Arsenal in the Champions League on Tuesday, after his failure to find the back of the net in Bayern's 1-0 win at Werder Bremen at the weekend brought a halt to his four-game scoring run for his club.

Ronaldo And Messi Stats Shows Who's Best Of All Time

Bests of all time Victory in football's biggest tournament would play a huge role for either player's legacy, particularly in the long-term, and it looks incredibly likely that the 2018 edition will be the final attempt for both men. As a result, there was always going to keen interest in exactly how Ronaldo and Messi fare. And, well, three games in and their form is diametrically opposed. Ronaldo is in the running for the Golden Boot after scoring four goals in his opening two fixtures, including a stunning hat-trick against a hotly fancied Spain team. MESSI VS RONALDO DEBATE Meanwhile, Messi just found the back of the net in Russia only in his last outing vs Nigeria and missed a vital penalty in the 1-1 draw with Iceland. These developments led to a spike in support for Ronaldo to be considered the greatest of all time, with this summer exemplifying his brilliant form over the last few years.
